A beta test is underway for Irth Online, a new MMORPG from developer Magic Hat – and they are calling for gamers to apply to test it.

Players can choose to play as a member of one of three races in the Fantasy-based environment – the Morbus, the Mezoteks or the Arcadians:

The persistent world environment of Irth Online features an open ended skill system. Players may learn any skill offered in the game without facing limitations of race or class. Irth Online’s advancement system has a unique skill-over-time feature, allowing all characters to enjoy adventures together, regardless of experience level.

Player battle and fighting include PvE (Player vs. Environment) and PvP (Player vs. Player). Also included either at launch (or shortly thereafter) will be instance-based thievery, looting, and justice, as well as the ability to fully explore, travel, or wage war on the ground, on the sea, and in the air. Opportunities for non-warfare gameplay are also offered, along with safe areas for peaceable players.

To apply to participate in the beta, sign up here.
